Oh, then your `d' should be simple.  `pprint.pprint' would print long or
complex structures on multiple lines, all nicely indented.  Dictionaries
entries are shown sorted by key.  I find it so useful that I forever had:

    import pprint
    pp = pprint.pprint

in my `.pythonrc' filean I could use thinks like `pp(d)' interactively.
